Canadian activists now pushing to euthanize children

Canada legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide (known as MAiD) on June 17, 2016. Canada’s euthanasia law required persons to be at least 18 years old and have a condition where “natural death is reasonably foreseeable,” whatever that means, before doctors can go ahead with euthanasia.

Soon after the legalization of (MAiD), the Canadian government announced that the Council of Canadian Academies would examine extending euthanasia to children, people who are incompetent but have made an advanced request, and people with mental illness.
